It is not wrong to want nice things for your home or office. And of course at Thingz we believe that a beautiful, well decorated home is an essential right!  But in today’s environment, it is certainly considered environmentally conscientious to be aware of how something was made, of what it is made and where the materials originates before you acquire and enjoy it. After all, you wouldn’t want to be part of a system that includes things such as child labor, deforestation, and illegal mining … right?

The great thing about contemporary furniture is that there are practically no limits. The era is not defined by specific elements. The more unique, more innovative, or more unheard of something is, the better. In fact, unlikely materials and original forms that are successfully combined make great cutting edge designs. Take for instance the Seat Belt Dining Chair from Thingz. It is a very unusual product made of a steel and wood frame interwoven with lengths of cotton seat belts. The end result actually looks very fluid and sexy, without the merest hint of the industrial or mechanical flavor that the words “seat belt” would normally suggest.
